ABOUT CARLO SNICKARS

My professional journey has been always driven by curiosity and interest in learning continuously something new. I spent the first 8 years of my career covering multiple engineering roles, deepening my technology understanding and system thinking. Then I decided to explore professional roles that could boost my business acumen, first as product leader learning the importance of listening the voice of customers, then as business development leader improving my market understanding and commercial skills.In 2021 I had the privilege of being selected for a 3 years leadership program to accelerate my career. Being \"out of the comfort zone\" is now \"my new comfort zone\".I started my career in ABB in 2007, first in Sweden at the R&D center and later designing control systems for the power generation unit based in Genova, Italy. In 2010 I joined GE as project leader for control systems in O&G applications. After 5 years I moved to product leadership where I was responsible for defining the digital strategy for both new units and upgrades markets. My main areas of focus were control systems, connectivity and cyber security. In 2018, few months after GE had acquired Baker Hughes, I have been appointed New Units Industrial Gas Turbine Platform Leader, taking care of this new business development in the industrial market. In 2021 I had the honor for being selected for the IMPACT program, a multi-years program designed to accelerate my leadership growth.
